Garden Tips From Fran
Sagina subulata is one of the best! That’s why it is one of our Tough Ten .
Excellent woodland area plant .
Fantastic between your stones . Sensational as a lawn substitute .
It works just about anywhere you put it. Its easy to grow and spreads quickly.
Irish Moss needs more shade in the Southern half of the US and
more sun in the Northern half of the US.
This plant is happiest when it receives cool sunlight, NOT hot afternoon sun.
* This little gem re-seeds easily to give you lots of freebies between your stepping stones.
